She gave the hospitalâs security guard a knowing luck, and like clockwork, two burly m began to
advance towards Dorothy.
Hiding a death in this foreign land was all too easy.
Back home, Amanda might have had some reservations, but here, this was her turf.
âWhat are you planning to do?â Dorothy instinctively backed away.
âItâs all because of you! Youâve turned the Loanz household upside down, my son is seriously injured,
and my plans are completely derailed! Tell me, donât you deserve to pay for this?â
In her entire life, Amanda had never been chastised by her husband, but now, because of Dorothyâs
appearance, their marriage was on the rocks!
How could she swallow this indignity?
Dorothy could see Amandaâs intentions clear as day but right now, she was like a lamb to the slaughter.
As the bodyguards closed in on her, she looked around frantically, finding nowhere to run.
Fortunately, just when things seemed direst, Jonathan heard the commotion and stepped out, âStop!â
His face mirrored the shock Amanda had shown just moments ago when he saw Dorothy
âWho told you about this? He had thought heâd sealed off the news completely!
âIt doesnât matter. I just just wanted to know how he was, just wanted to see him,â Corally stood alone
against them, defenseless yet with an unwavering gaze.
She was determined to stand by Everett
âShe canât go in! She only got close to our son for money in the first place. You canât forget that! How
do we know she doesnt have ulterior motives now? Anyone can pretend to be in love. In fact, I bet she
hopes for Everett to die so she and her kid can inherit his fortune!â
âEnoughâ Jonathan was annoyed. He glanced at his wife, âGo inside. I need to talk to her
âThereâs nothing to talk about. Why not justâ¦â
âYouâre starting to sound just like Heather! All you think about is making people disappear, about
harming others. Have you forgotten what the doctor said? Everett finds out you had something to do
with Dorothyâs death, prepare to be alone
Amanda glared at Dorothy venomously and then stormed back inside.
The crisis was temporarily averted. Dorothyâs gaze lingered on the hospital, even though she knew she
was unlikely likely to see anythi see anything
Jonathan dismissed everyone else, leaving just him and Dorothy face to face
Both were silent for a moment, but it was Jonathan who spoke first, âYou and Everett can be together.â
"I knowâ She had been aware of this truth four years ago. Otherwise, she wouldnt have chosen to
divorce Everell then.
âThen why did you stillâ¦?â
*Coming back to Eldoria City wasnât my choice. Later, Heather kidnapped my child, and I had to go!â
Jonathan nodded, he was well aware of that. But the critical point of the conversation wasnât this. âI can
tell youâre not the kind of person who covels wealth, but I hope you understand that a family like the
Lopezâs canât accept you as a daughter in lawâ Iâm aware of that tooâ
âGood. Since you understand, Ill be straightforward. The children you bore for Everett, the Lopez family
needs to take them back. I cannot allow the bloodline of the Lopez family to be lost.â
âNo way! They re my children!â Domthy rejected the idea without hesitation.
Jonathan had anticipated her resistance and allowed a smile. âDonât rush to a decision. Let me finish. If
you agree, III let you stay with Everett until he wakes up.â
